Founder of Spirit of Place - Spirit of Design, Travis Price, is featured on the cover of the architecture issue of Home & Design. If you're in the DC area, go get yourself a copy or read about it here. The beautiful home for Steve Salop and Judy Gelman overlooking the Potomac River pays homage to the natural elements of the site including the rising earth and clouds. It is divided into two parts, which the owners have nicknamed Terminal A and B because of the similarity of Dulles Airport by Saarinen.

The interiors are softened with warm woods by Thos. Moser and lots of built-in storage to keep the place clutter-free care of interior designer Barbara Hawthorne. Price says, "The home isn't sterile like the Bauhaus, but is full of natural rhythms. This is modern architecture with soul." That pretty much sums up Price's work.
